Ivanhoe Students Embrace Leadership Training with Citizens UK

At Ivanhoe School, we are committed to empowering our students to become active leaders who shape their communities positively. Recently, our Key Stage 3 students took part in a dynamic training session led by Daniel Mackintosh, from Citizens UK, focusing on leadership, teamwork, and creating change that matters.

The training was designed to help students understand the principles of community organizing and develop practical skills to lead initiatives effectively. Over the course of the session, they explored what it means to be a leader, how to connect with others, and ways to drive collective action.

The session began with activities designed to help students identify their strengths as individuals and as a team. Through interactive workshops, they practiced communication techniques, including active listening and storytelling, to build trust and connect with peers. These foundational skills will not only support them in this project but will also prepare them for challenges in and beyond school life.

We also listened to student concerns around lunches and fed back to them the outcomes from their requests. We hope that you will agree that the changes we have made will make a difference, but rest assured that we will continue to monitor the situation and make changes again if needs be.
